Overlooking a street.
- Noise
“The room faces the street, and is opposite the delivery area for the gym and Hughes Hall, making it fairly noisy in the mornings. The room also bears alot of the noise from people coming/going at all times of the day. Not a big deal though, it's fairly easy to get used to it.” (Jan 2008)
“Can be noisy in the mornings. Mortimer Road is not as quiet as it may appear to be as the car-park exit is always in use.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“There are two kitchens in 7 and 8, one at the top of the house and one at the bottom. Being on the ground floor the basement kitchen is closest to this bedroom, about 2 metres away and down the stairs.It's a huge kitchen, recently rennovated with hobs and a dining table. Great space.” (Jan 2008)
“Down 1 floor, absolutely fantastic. Huge and very well equiped. About 30 cupboards, 8 ceramic hobs, 2 sinks, toaster, kettle, sandwich toaster - shared between 4 people currently.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Closest bathroom is 3metres down the hall near the back door. Or just up the stairs. Both are nice and modern, both showers. Houses 7 and 8 have about 5/6 bathrooms in it in total, including one with a bath. Never really a problem with waiting for a free one.” (Jan 2008)
“Fine, same floor, shared between 4 (but there are another 4 bathrooms in houses 7 and 8). All showers.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Medium sized desk, double wardrobe, coffee table, bedside table, 2 armchairs. All the furniture is obviously from the same place, and has a red theme to it. If red's not your colour it's easily covered up with tablecloths/pillows.” (Jan 2008)
“Ikea style, very new, desk rather small and flimsy.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Very large, newly rennovated, nice fireplace and mantle, bay windows, ceiling rose.” (Jan 2008)
“Space - high ceilings and plenty of room” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“The noise. Risk of getting your bike stolen if you don't put it in the bike rack at the back.” (Jan 2008)
“At the front of the house - I have net curtains up as otherwise everyone in Hughes Hall is very interested in what you're doing. Also, noisy when Brake Bros, etc. come to deliver food to Hughes Hall. Possibly, Angie could be in this category.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“If you can get used to the slightly higher level of noise, this is certainly one of the best rooms in 7&8. Morty Rd really isn't that far away from town/college, and is in the "bohemian" side of town, so it feels like you're living in a proper city.” (Jan 2008)
“Obviously, about 3/4 of a mile from college. N.B. Angie is the housekeeper - a very few get on OK with her, most do not, by a long way. Laundry is in the garage of No. 2, and well equiped. House has just been refurbished and is generally very nice. Plenty of other people living on Mortimer Road, and handy for Mill Rd. Shops. Network socket is present, and may be working soon.” (Jan 2003)
